   Hi,

   I am running 3.3

   I am also running a wp plugin which generates webpages dynamically but a bit slow. There are about 20 of these sites, with images etc. The plugin now has an html export function which will output everything needed to run the site standalone - and therefore much faster.

   These 20 minisites are established on a url like this:

   minisite1.myfirstdom.com
   minisite2.myfirstdom.com

   Because I already have backlinks to these urls I want to put the HTML version on them.

   So, what I want to do is setup a new wp on a different url, install the plugin and then import content to the new installation.

   What is the best way to do this?

   Shall I make a copy of the existing database, then do a new install and give it the new database name, then copy the wp_content folder over to the new install ?

   What do you think ?

   Thanks
   David

   If you use the export tool from your wp dashboard, it´ll do all that work for you. It´ll even take your pictures to the new site.

   Now what I don´t quite get is what do you want to move where?
   Let me put that up again...

   - You have a WP install that generates html pages for you.
   - You want to remove WP so that the html sites can stand alone.
   Why would you want that? If you use Quick Cache the site should
   load a lot faster.

   However... You would want to move WP one directory UP so that your main
   directory will deliver those html sites. (Forget about those subdomains by the way, that doesn´t make sense here.)

   Then you can run your blog on http://www.yourdomain.com/blog
   (Or whatever you call the new blog directory.)

   Did I get that right?

   If not then do you want to move your blog to a new domain? That would require some redirecting added to your .htaccess file (Google: Redirect Match htaccess)for incoming links. BUT that´s no permanent solution if you ask me because redirects always take TIME.
